The object of this invention is to provide a novel sample -or advertising package adapted to display or advertise a given ma-- chine or process by illustrating the product 6 formed or treated by the machine or process'at different stagesof the latter, in conjunction with, a graphic illustration of the machine or process and the appropriate placposltion of the pockets 2 and 3 in the bod ing of the samples relative thereto.

The device, which may vary widely in form, is illustratedin one embodiment in the attached drawings, in which Figure 1 shows a view in perspectiveof the device;

Fig. 2 is a view in perspective of the board member forming the body of the device, and

Fig. 3 shows the trans arent cover which confines the samples in t' e apertures in the body. p 30 With reference to the drawings, the derelatively thick sheet 1, which may 'beof any {2 well known corrugated cardboard has been body portion 1 has at least one,'and prefclosed on at least one side by pieces of transand One of the transparent cover pieces is in Fig.3 and designated by the reference numeral 4. I cover pieces 'are made to adhere to one pr both faces. as the case may be, of the body 1 by any suitableadhesi've. The pockets or .recesses formed by the openings 2 and 3 and the one or, more transparent cover sheets 4', are filled with the productwhich is to be displayed, and in the present instance wheat in pocket 3 being wheat that has been cleaned by the machine which in the resent instance it is desired to advertise. The

pockets 2 and 3 as previously described are sealed at the back either by a second transparent sheet or in any other way.

In the present instance I enclose the body in an envelope of paper, as shown in F 1 and designated by the reference numera 5,

and although the envelope 5 maylconstitute covers 4 previously described.

vice in the form illustrated consists of a suitable board-like material, although thefound well adapted to the purpose. This" 'erably two or more-apertures which are parent; material such as celluloid. In'the- 0 drawin I have shown two such apertures 2 These transparent and for the purpose of illustration, I have shown these pockets as filled with wheat, the a wheat in pocket 2 being smutty and the the: sealing means at' the back of the pockets 2 and 3, it is preferred to close these apertures by means of a separate sealing strip applied to the face of the body 1 by-means of adhesive prior to the placing of the aforesaid bod in the envelope 5.

As we I illustrated, the envelope 5 is apertured in a manner corresponding with the 1' so that these pockets are ex osed throug the apertures 6 and throu h t e transparent Depicted uponthe envelope 5 intermediate the apertures 6, 6, is a wheat washer and drier, the picture being so positioned that the pocket 21containirig the smutty wheat lies over or adjacent to the intake end of the machine, while the pocket 3 containing the washed and cleaned wheat is adjacent the output end of the machine, and it is ordinarily desirable under these circumstances to illustrate a flow of the material from the one pocket into the machine and from the machine into the other pocket.

The device provides an extremely graphic illustration of the character of work performed by the machine and the results that it is possible to obtain, and is highly desirable as an advertising medium.

Obviously the contents of the ocketsmay be made visible on both faces oi the device, and a pictureof the machine also placed on both sides of the envelope containerfor difierent machines adapted to operate successively on the same product might be shown on'the opposite sides. In the present instance, the back of the envelope, not shown, is printed with advertisin vmatter pertaining to the machine so grap ically illustrated on the forwardfaee.

- The device in principle is; applicable to many forms of sample display, and I do not wish to limit the invention to. the particular form herein illustrated and described. It may be used, for example, to illustrate acomplete process involving a plurality of machines or associated a paratus, and

pockets being appropriately located to illustrate the product after the various treatment steps of the process. Also the device in principle is applicable for advertising manufacturing machinery, by illustrating the machine, the raw material, and the manufactured product. The device also is adapted for illustrating various types of mill machinery, the machine being graphically' illustrated in association with displays thing pictured.

2. An advertising package including a picture of a mechanical device, together with pockets having transparent covers rendering their contents visible from the outside of the package, said pockets being appropriately located with respect to the said picture to graphically illustrate the function of the device pictured.

3. An advertising package including a picture of a mechanical device, together with pockets adapted respectively to contain material in form or condition before and after passing through said device and having transparent covers rendering said material visible from the outside of the package, said pockets being appropriately located adjacent the intake and discharge parts of the piceeaeea tured device and thereby graphically illustrating the function of the latter,

4. An advertising package including a picture of a grain-treating machine, together With pockets adapted respectively to hold samples of grain in conditions before and after passing through the machine and having transparent covers rendering the contained grain visible from the outside of the package, said pockets being appropriately located adjacent the intake and discharge ports of the machine to graphically illustrate the function of'the pictured machine.

5. Anadvertising package comprising a relatively thick sheet of board material having spaced openings closed on both sides, the closure on at least one side being of trans: parent material, and an envelope for said cardboard having openings corresponding with the openings in the cardboard at least on that side corresponding with the said transparent covers and having on the outside and intermediate said openings a picture of a mechanical device, one of said openings being located adjacent the intake end of said device and the other opening-adjacent the discharge end of said device and being adapted respectively to hold samples of material before and after being acted upon by said .device.
